About This Home
As of May 2026Quaint mountain cottage perfectly situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just off the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway. This custom-built home overlooks a picturesque farm, offering sweeping pastoral and mountain views that define true mountain tranquility.
The home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with an open kitchen, dining, and living area designed for easy gathering. A finished loft—currently used as additional sleeping space—adds flexibility, though it is not included in the heated square footage due to its ceiling height.
Interior highlights include wood floors and wood ceilings, fiber-optic internet, a stacked washer/dryer, and a freestanding gas-log fireplace. Outdoors, a wraparound porch invites you to relax in a rocking chair as the sun sets, while a yard firepit offers the perfect spot to unwind under the stars.
This one-of-a-kind, custom-built cottage is being offered fully furnished, making it an ideal turnkey retreat. Enjoy direct access to the best of the Blue Ridge—walk the Parkway trails, bike scenic routes, visit nearby wineries, explore charming downtown shops, or spend an afternoon fishing in a local trout stream.
